Carragher Questions Florian Wirtz’s Role as Liverpool Seek Midfield Balance

Jamie Carragher has raised concerns about Florian Wirtz’s early form and where the £116 million signing fits into Liverpool’s midfield under Arne Slot. The former Liverpool defender believes Dominik Szoboszlai is best used as a No. 10, leaving questions over how Wirtz, Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch can play together without exposing the team defensively. Carragher urged Liverpool to recruit an energetic midfielder who can cover ground, retain possession and offer greater protection to the defence. He suggested the current balance is not working and warned that Liverpool could struggle to control games if too many midfielders push forward at once.
